It was three years ago – an eternity – when the Nativity Mission School at 204 Forsyth Street was razed in the name of luxury living. The self-proclaimed “edgy refinement” of the replacement structure is now in full view. Down came the scaffolding and netting earlier this week. Gone also is the external boiler system […]

With the concrete skeleton hulking behind, the plywood fence at the Nativity Mission condo site on Forsyth Street now has a Vandal’s touch. No, we’re not talking about that bullshit Bowery restaurant. Rather, the dapper character work of street artist Nick Walker.

Indeed, two years after the Nativity Mission school was razed, progress toward the seven-story luxury condo development finally hit the literal climax. The building is topped out as of this week. For a while there, the new 204 Forsyth […]

The foundation is barely poured, and construction is at a snail’s pace. Nevertheless, sales for the “edgy/refined” Forsyth Street condo development that replaced the Nativity Mission are now live. As previously reported, the seven-story tumor at 204 Forsyth is to boast eleven two- and three-bedroom apartments. Three are now available for purchase: two half-floor 2BR’s […]

Z Architecture is designing the well-heeled luxury replacement, a new condo development which will reach eighty feet into the sky. And the firm just released this updated rendering.

The full foundation is not even poured, and already the buzzards are circling the carcass of the former Nativity Mission School on Forsyth Street. Interior renderings for the eleven-story replacement tower are presently making the rounds, uploaded this week to social media by celebrity broker Fredrik Eklund.

The former headquarters of the Jesuit-run Nativity Mission School is gone from the Lower East Side landscape. Its eighty-six years standing at 204 Forsyth Street came to an end this week. Demolition crews diligently dismantled the brickwork these last couple months, and now nothing is left. This lot and its adjacent parking parcel will be […]

It’s somewhat ironic that the Nativity Mission School – a Jesuit-run organization which helped fight Lower East Side poverty for four decades – would meet its maker during Christmastime. The encasement of steel and netting arrived at 204 Forsyth Street just before the holidays, kicking off a period of demolition and redevelopment. All of the […]
